Things Learned From…

“The best way to accelerate your learning curve: put some skin in the game.”
Brunello Cucinelli — founder and CEO of his own luxury brand
“There are three things you cannot buy.
Fitness: You have to keep fit, whether you’re rich or not.
Diet: You cannot pay someone to be on a diet for you. I think that diet is the biggest sacrifice in my life.
Then, looking after your soul. No one can possibly treat your soul but you yourself.”
Everyone at his company works from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
“…everybody turns up at 8 AM, and at 5:30 PM everybody leaves.
That’s the only time we have available. I do not want to see any time wasted.
I do not want during the day to see funny emails or joke emails. […]
“We have to rediscover the quality of work.
If during the day, someone texts, ‘Why don’t we go for a pizza on a Sunday?’ I don’t receive it until after 6 PM.”
“…we can make things concise, and we have time for our family.
When I say family, I mean your time, your private time.
So tonight, at half-past five, that’s it, I’m finished. I go for a jog, I have a booklet that I carry with me, and when I come across a good idea, I jot it down.”
“This is a question of balance.
Those who come to me and say, ‘You know, I work 15 hours a day,’ I say, ‘I am not interested.’
I am interested in the quality of working hours, not the quantity.
The brain of the human being. Do you think that during the first five hours of the day you are the same as you are in the last five hours? No way. You’re tired, and if you’re tired, you stop listening, and the decisions you make are risky.”
Thanks for reading! Hope you have an excellent day.
